TSERS & LGERS Boards of Trustees

Teachers’ and State Employees’ Retirement System Board of Trustees

The Teachers’ and State Employees’ Retirement System (TSERS) provides benefits to all full-time teachers and State employees in all public school systems, universities, departments, institutions, and agencies of the State. The TSERS Board of Trustees is comprised of 13 members, including eight actively working employees or retirees, as well as five public and appointed members who also serve on the Local Governmental Employees’ Retirement System Board.

Local Governmental Employees’ Retirement System Board of Trustees

The Local Governmental Employees’ Retirement System (LGERS) provides benefits to employees of cities, towns, counties, boards, ​commissions, and other entities of local government in North Carolina. Because participation by local governments is voluntary, the operation of LGERS is dependent upon the acceptance and continuing financial support of the governing bodies and employees of local governments. The LGERS Board of Trustees is comprised of 13 members, including eight members representing local governments.
